Something’s not right

Tough Times

Tough Times

I thought I'd open up this discussion for anyone going through a rough time at the moment and want to get some extra support.
I am struggling a lot at the moment dealing with a range of things. One thing a struggle with is Anxiety. This is something I deal with everyday. I wake up with it every morning and fall asleep (when I sleep) with it every night. Some days are worse than other days. Distractions play a big part in coping with it daily. At the moment being stuck at home schooling my kids is my biggest distraction. It helps most of the time however sometimes it can be a real struggle to stay present and calm. We as a family try to go for a walk everyday. We take our family dog with us. Another distraction for me is cooking but this can be a challenge as I struggle with motivating myself but when I get into it I create some nice things. Today my 8year old son and I made oat based banana and chic chip muffins. 😋😋

I hope everyone's day has been a good day filled with self care and motivation.

Honey you can't control what's going to happen tomorrow just have to think positive and see that this is a good thing. It's the first step in helping you feel better. It is scary I want deny that. The unknown is always scary but a couple days in and you'll start to get use to it and hopefully feel better. They are there to look after you and help you heal.
you May feel a little controlled too but again that is there for your safety and again it will take time to get use to. I am speaking from experience babe.
I am going to really struggle not being able to speak to you everyday. 😞 but i believe this is the best thing that could happen babe. You really do need it. Get away from all the extra stresses in your life and for once spend the time solely on yourself and working at healing your soul.

@Purplerain @Bunniekins @outlander @Lee82 , you guys are the best, from the bottom of my heart thank you all. As outlander would say I haven't coped in a "healthy" way. So D2 called Sean and he just got here. I am ok, no medical attention required but now I have no choice I have to take my meds. I am freaking out because I know he won't allow me to shower alone and he will see all the damage from last night. He is going to freak out, it won't take much for him to work it out or who. It is just adding to the stress levels. Please know I am safe and being look after. Hopefully I will at least get to say good morning tomorrow god that's even if I am going. How is this better? How is me not knowing helping? Ok guys sending my love to you all, be safe, look out for each.

@outlander , I hope you get the medical attention you need sweetie. Huge hugs

@Lee82 , Love you 3000 to infinity and beyond always. Please be ok, please be safe.
